Image Credit: Florian Schneider/ABCWith Nicollette Sheridan’s lawsuit drama playing out off screen, Desperate Housewives is doing its best to divert attention back on screen by packing its season finale with a birth, a death, some destruction, and a humdinger of a secret. The episode won’t air until May 16, but thanks to exec producer Bob Daily, I’ve got a preview of the five must-see twists.
NO MORE MONEY, HONEY
“Mike and Susan are going to have some financial issues,” reveals Daily. “They’re experiencing the economic woes that much of America is experiencing, and it’s going to create issues in their marriage and it will lead them to make a life-changing decision in the finale.”
DELIVERING SOME MAJOR DRAMA
Lynette’s cursed pregnancy comes to a fittingly dark conclusion when she gives birth under “pretty scary circumstances,” says Daily. “I don’t want to give too much away, but it ties into the mystery of who the Fairview Strangler is. She’s going to be getting closer and closer to the identity of the person who’s been terrorizing the women of Fairview, and then give birth, like I said, under less than ideal circumstances.”
SON OF A…
Bree discovers “son” Jeremy’s true intentions. “But unfortunately for her,” says Daily, “he knows some shocking Van De Kamp secrets that will come back to haunt her. He has a trump card he’s going to use against her.”
FRIENDS FOREVER?
Gaby will get dragged into the Angie mystery. “Gaby will end up being Angie’s confidante,” previews Daily. “And she’ll help her out as she tries to get away from her past.” In possibly related news, Daily promises that “someone the audience has gotten to know this season” will perish in the finale.
BOOM
Plans to blow up a home on Wisteria Lane were scuttled, but Daily confirms that the finale will still feature “a big explosion.”

No news about Robin and Katherine?
I’m assuming they’re living happily ever after (unless their pilot season sucks in which case I hope to see them next season).
There won’t be any news until they/we know if Dana Delaney’s pilot is picked up, and that won’t be known until May.
bye bye they went,
I think Rosie O’donnel should come on the show
ooooh. what will explode?
Hopefully Gaby and Susan. Can’t stand them anymore. Gaby needs to screw the hot gardener again. He’s the only thing useful about Gaby.
Some cameras? It’d be amazing if it went single camera all of a sudden.
Marc Cherry’s, uh, cherry?
Oh wow… I’m really excited to see the part about Lynette! That sounds really scary!
All of the girls have a lot going on!
Oh my. There are some juicy twists indeed. Poor Lynette though. Oh dear…
Robin and Katherine are gone, sadly. They could be brought back someday, but not this season.
I think both actresses have other projects, like pilots for other shows, so they had them leave town until that all gets worked out.
This finale is going to be the best of the show. Everything sounds fantastic. That is all I gotta say.
So psyched for May 16th!
I really hope Lynette doesn’t lose the baby. She already lost Patrick!
And yay for all the spoilers!
I highly doubt Marc would kill ANOTHER baby. I don’t think you should worry about it.
They should change the title to Desperate Plotlines.
Zing!
i’d like to have andrew around more.
He chose to lessen his role on the show. But maybe if he doesn’t pick up full time work, he’ll be back more next season.
My guess about Bree’s half-stepson is that he knows Andrew is the one that ran down Carlos’s mother way back when.
Not sure why Rex would have told him, but in any case, there must be zero evidence left of that, so not sure how much traction you could get with that by blackmailing.
What if he was the one who picked up the car?
Money problems?? But aren’t they like 5 years ahead shouldn’t the recession be over by then?
haha good point!
and susan just got all that money from the sale of the strip club. what happens to that so quickly?
haven’t we already had the “Money problems” storyline with Lynnette and Tom?
Yep, we sure have, Lana, and it went on for a while. Repetitive plots equals proof of a tired, limping show. I can’t believe this silly parody-of-itself show is getting yet another tired season after this one. I’m so glad I haven’t wasted any time watching it since Nicollette left.
So if you consider watching it a waste of time, how would you classify the time you’ve spent reading about, and commenting on, a show you allegedly no longer watch?
I miss Nicolette as well. She seemed to balance out the dull !
Wow, J, bad day much? Not that I am obligated to explain myself to you, but I “classify” my time spent here as enjoyment. I have every right to read and comment here as anyone else. BOM-BOY-BAY, ITA. She sure had that certain something none of the others have.
money problems never go away. To have people on TV be always rich is fake.
you want a real ratings boost and shocker for the finale? bring back edie…
….with a black eye.
Who is Jeremy– the 2 boys are Bree’s son Andrew and her stepson Sam…. Which one is he talking about?
I was just wondering that same thing..?
Sam was originally going to be called Jeremy. So I guess, Mike might be mistaken?
What a cr@pfest. I stopped watching this misery of a show when they killed Edie.
